Good for someone who specifically wants a third temperature zone on a 28" griddle; skip it if two zones are enough, the standard 28" hood model is cheaper.

Pros

  • Three independently controlled heat zones (vs. two on the standard 28" hood model) for more flexible multi-dish cooking
  • Omnivore plate technology gives faster, more even heat recovery
  • Rear grease management and dual side shelves for easier cleanup and prep
  • Serious heat (48,000 BTU) — sears fast

Watch-outs

  • Costs more than the standard 28" Omnivore hood model for a modest zone-count upgrade
  • Flat hood still pools rainwater rather than shedding it
  • Bulkier cart takes up more storage space
  • Flat top only — no grill marks or low-and-slow smoke

Known niggles

  • Same flat-hood water-pooling issue as other hooded models
